Its a trap!

I got one good pull today I am still playing with where the different pieces need to be on the table and the temp I need to get the plastic too. However, I'm pretty happy with this pull I think I will be running with it for my chest plates. Tomorrow I will add the damage and get everything cleaned up. I'm using 3mm Sinatra

Well a few hours at the vac table and belt sander and this is what we're left with!

Base silver is down!

I have been researching and going though photos with a fine tooth comb and I have realized that my physical damage to the armor is not exactly accurate. *facepalm* that's what I get for trying to do it fast. Oh well I will make another pull tomorrow night and start over. I guess we live and learn!

Well it's time for another segment. I have begun painting the helmet the silver was put down and then liquid masked. After that I mixed and shot the base grey over that. More to come soon.

I re pulled new armor pieces and I am pretty happy with these ones. I put the silver down then liquid masked and mixed and shot the yellow. I'm going to take these all the way and see where they sit. I will re make them again if need be.

Looking good so far. I like the electric skillet idea for the vac table! Never thought to try that

Very creative! http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/members/bcarp100/Bcarp100, how long does the sintra take to get soft enough to vacuum form?

Bcarp100 · Feb 9, 2016

About 3 minutes when it's on 400 degrees. I put a piece of wood over the sintra to insulate it and speed up the process.

Well I thought the blue was a little too dark so I decided to tone it down with some bleach......hello pink flightsuit! Ugh.

In other news I got my man of war cape and weathered it with a blow torch. It's not hung up drying, so it will be significantly lighter color wise when I it is dry. I hope I didn't ever do it.

Please excuse the messy garage.

nice cape ; ]

hah. I don't think you over did it. I weathered mine in a similar way, especially towards the bottom of the cape. I want my build screen accurate, but also there's some stuff I want with good weathering. The cape for example...the bottom of that cape is next to JET PACK EXHAUST. It should be burned and weathered..i mean..come on. So stuff like that I'm all for a weathered Fett style.

That's what I was thinking too!!!! A big thank you for letting me buy your extra cape btw

I put the fire out with a spray bottle with really really watered down black and grey acrylic so I'm hoping when it drys it looks nice a dirty.

I'm making progress on the helmet I did a light sanding to blend some of the layers.

I think I will paint the the red on next I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out!

Well it's time for a long over due update!

I have the red down on the helmet, I lost some paint to the masking tape so that is a bummer but not anything that can not be fixed!

I started over on the ammo belt this morning. I was not happy with my wood blocks and fake leather so I went over to Tandy where j got a great deal on a side of beautiful Italian leather. (Insanely over kill for a Fett belt but what can I say I like nice things!) My wife looked at the wood blocks I had cut for the fake leather and came up with a usable pattern for real leather after a little trial and error. These will secure with magnets and I will put snaps on the proper pouches that require them. There are a couple pouches that still look a bit discolored, but that is simply because I got them wet to allow me to work with them more easily. Tomorrow I will apply the dye to the leather to get them the correct color and I will also finish the actual belt that the pouches get mounted too. I think they came out really well, but please tell me if I missed the mark so I can start over! The stitch I used is the saddle stitch.

And lastly, I finally have a little paint down on a couple pieces or armor!
